Paul is a buttoned-up, clean-cut, professional. Corie is a quirky, independent, free-spirit. On paper they may not work together, but the two are madly in love and recently married. The excitement doesn’t last too long as their 5th-floor hovel, eccentric upstairs neighbor, and nosy mother aren’t exactly what the couple had expected for their housewarming. During a night out, an argument causes the two to question their entire relationship. Can these newlyweds find domestic bliss despite their differences? Neil Simon’s Barefoot in the Park stars Jane Fonda as Corie Bratter, with Robert Redford reprising his Broadway role of Paul Bratter, plus an Oscar-nominated supporting performance by Mildred Natwick.
“Barefoot in the Park is one howl of a picture. Adapted by Neil Simon from his legit smash, retaining Robert Redford and Mildred Natwick from the original cast, and adding Jane Fonda and Charles Boyer to round out the principals, this is a thoroughly entertaining comedy delight about young marriage. Director Gene Saks makes a sock debut.” – Variety
“Barefoot in the Park is one of the few plays to be reincarnated on-screen while playing on the Broadway stage. Happily, it loses little in transition.” – TIME Magazine
